That sounds like a twisted explanation. Makes it sound like the ottoman empire was not warlike and commiting horrible atrocities, like the ethic cleansing of millions of people that may have inspired Hitler.
The issue here is the religion which treats women as inferiors which effects everything including justice. It would have been the same in the ottoman empire or Saudi Arabia and you hear the same issues going on in most muslim countries. Basically male muslims are the highest form of human and everyone else is below it. The pecking order was probably important. If it had been a muslim woman raped by christian men or a muslim man sexually assaulted by muslim women they probably would have done something. If your higher up the pecking order you get to abuse all those below you.
I remember hearing that when you visit Dubai you occasionally come across very arroggent male locals who may push you aside and not care about being extremely rude and dis-courteous and the advice was just keep your head down. Many of the workers building property in Dubai are basically slaves in all but name only. It's a different culture without equality.
Still saying that Dubai looks incredible and I'd love to visit there.
